The simple rotary design of the thumb safety blocks movement of the sear when it is engaged. To engage the thumb safety, push it fully upward with the thumb of your firing hand to place it in the on (safe) position (Fig. 1). To disengage the thumb safety, push FIG. 1 it fully downward with the thumb of your firing hand to place it in the off (fire) position and reveal a red dot (Fig. 2). Passive Internal Drop Safety Your Hi-Point carbine includes a passive internal drop safety that automatically functions regardless of whether the thumb safety is in the on (safe) or off (fire) position. FIG. 2 It consists of a counter weight, which is a weight that counteracts sear movement to prevent the carbine from firing if dropped on its handle (grip). Although your Hi-Point carbine has internal design features and mechanical safeties designed to prevent an unintentional discharge if the carbine is dropped or hit, the proper and safe function of your Hi-Point carbine depends on it being used for its intended purposes and not being altered or modified. Like any other mechanical device, if your Hi-Point carbine is subjected to unusual and extreme forces, a part failure can occur. Therefore, safe firearm handling practices and the instructions and safety warnings in this manual must always be followed to minimize the risk of a negligent discharge. If your Hi-Point carbine’s safeties prove to be ineffective for any reason, the possibility of an unintentional discharge exists. In this case, your Hi-Point carbine should be immediately unloaded and not be used again until it has been examined by Strassell’s Machine, Inc. 10 HI-POINT FIREARMS INSTRUCTION MANUAL Internal Breech Bolt Your Hi-Point carbine features an internal breech bolt lock (hold open mechanism) that will automatically lock the breech bolt in the fully rearward (open) position when the last round in the magazine is fired to signal that the magazine is empty. When the operating handle (charging handle) is pulled back with an empty magazine in place, it will also be held in the fully rearward position by the internal breech bolt lock.
